Chapter 36 – 036. Archis Great Labyrinth (4)
‘Sammaebung Kwon’
It was one of the skills of a man named Ju Hyeon-seong, one of the heroes who fought against the demons in ancient times.
A man who awakened mana with the body of an earthling and incorporated it into a martial art called Geukwonryu.
He was a person who withstood the attacks of the demons with his bare body and tore the bodies of witches and demons single-handedly, and was one of the teachers who taught Eun-hyeon the basics of fighting.
Eun-hyun, who had no talent in martial arts and had no achievements even after teaching, devoted herself to practicing only the basics for a long time, and in the process, practiced only discipline every night.
Holding in her heart a desperate desire to protect her life only in order to survive, in a world gone mad, Eun-hyeon repeated only one movement, correcting the subtle differences felt each time it was repeated, correcting and supplementing the wrong points. The more it was repeated, the higher the degree of completion of the movement.
And when I reached the extreme, the technique I realized was the ‘sammaebungkwon’.
Eun-hyeon’s skill was created by throwing away distracting thoughts and concentrating on one thing.
It was a new technique created together by Eun-hyeon, who had no talent, and Ju Hyeon-seong, who had reached the pinnacle of martial arts.
The skill that was born after repeating one movement over several years was a skill that was born from Eun-hyeon’s painstaking efforts and mad obsession, but Eleanor, who had no idea about martial arts, knew the effort and time required to create the skill. Had a hard time with
It was a fact that he could not keep his mouth shut that he had overwhelming power enough to burst the abdomen of the Minotaur with his bare fists.
‘How… What is it?’
It was the most heterogeneous appearance of Eun-hyeon I had ever seen.
Even when against the ‘shadow’ of the black magician.
Even when he fooled people with words and presented negotiations that bordered on wicked blackmail.
Even when he easily subdued a group of kobolds.
Eleanor was shocked, but did not think it was impossible.
At least I didn’t think it was impossible.
Even if it wasn’t him, I thought that there could be enough men with that level of power.
But what is this sight now?
The Minotaur is an intermediate level beast that is qualitatively different from the lower level beasts, the kobolds.
If one were to consider which of the kobolds who acted in groups, although their abilities and fighting power were inferior, or the minotaur, who roamed alone, was more dangerous, many adventurers would naturally choose the latter.
From the point of view of experienced adventurers, it was possible to subdue a group of kobolds with low combat power, even though they were numerous, without much attrition if they put in a certain amount of effort.
But the case of the Minotaur is different.
A solid body that can withstand the attacks of skilled adventurers, and overwhelming strength that terribly tears the surrounding enemies while wielding a weapon of enormous size makes many adventurers chill.
No matter how experienced and powerful the adventurers were, if they were hit once by a weapon wielded with fearsome arm muscles, their torso would explode.
Is there anyone in the world who has the power to defeat such a Minotaur in one blow with his bare hands?
May exist
But Eleanor had never seen such an ignorant man in her life.
He was convinced that perhaps even Riod, the strongest knight in the kingdom, or his father, Abros, who had accumulated numerous achievements and was sitting in the military minister’s seat, would not be able to follow that crazy act.
‘My father said he was most afraid of the man’s behavior and snake-like tongue. But no.’
What we need to be most wary of about Eun-hyeon is the unknown power of Eun-hyeon.
‘What are you doing?’
After showing such an amazing sight, Eun-hyeon suddenly knelt down on her knees and was sighing with a sad expression on her face.
“Meat… My beef…”
Eleanor, who did not understand the muttering of the voice, cautiously got up from the floor where she sat down and cautiously approached Eun-hyeon.
[Oh! Calm down!]
‘Hey, Goddess?’
Hearing Belldandi’s voice, Eunhyeon shook his shoulders and called out to Belldandi, who was floating in the air in surprise.
[Isn’t there something more to be done now? I know the child is very sorry, but I have to come to my senses.]
‘That’s right…’
Eun-hyeon nodded his head, raised his knees again, and hugged him.
“What was the problem?”
“No. Not really.”
Glancing at the corpse of the Minotaur, it seemed that he still couldn’t let go of his lingering attachments.
[After all, isn’t there only one monster in this labyrinth? There must be other objects as well. Do not be discouraged.]
“Yes… I guess.”
“Yes?”
“It’s nothing.”
Perhaps the feeling of regret was so strong, Eun-hyeon unknowingly responded with her inner heart.
After answering Eleanor’s question appropriately, Eun-hyeon shook her head and decided to throw away her lingering feelings from the Minotaur’s corpse.
‘Okay. There’s no way there’s only one of them in this huge labyrinth. There must be another entity. Let’s not make mistakes then.’
“Let’s resume our search. From now on, there will probably be frequent battles, so please be careful.”
Eleanor listened to Eunhyun’s request and nodded his head nervously.
◆ ◆ ◆
“Keuuugh!”
Alex gritted his teeth, swallowing the scream that seemed about to burst out again.
He almost passed out from the impact of hitting the wall, but an even more terrible pain gnawed through Alex’s body.
The BullBoar’s tusk, protruding like an awl, penetrated Alex’s left abdomen, lifted Alex’s body, and pushed it as it was, colliding with the wall of the labyrinth.
Coorling
Bull Bore, who had been snorting wildly, began pulling her tusks out of Alex’s abdomen and backing away from her.
When the bull bore was far away, Alex sat down on the floor and, with his hand roughly blocking the leaking out of his perforated left abdomen, exhaled heavily.
Kurleung!
Alex, who didn’t even have the strength to stand up, leaned against the wall and looked at the roaring bull bore once more, his face contorted.
It was because the appearance of sweeping the floor roughly, emitting ferocious eyes and ferocious spirit as if he had already lost half of his reason, made it seem as if he would charge towards himself again after securing a sufficient leap distance.
“Damn it…”
Alex had a hunch that this moment was his last.
The moment he thought about how he could hit the bull bore in exchange for his own death and separate him from the princess and her party.
Cheeik!
A potion bottle rolled across the floor and began to envelop Alex and Bulvore in a puff of white smoke.
“This…”
It was the Alchemist’s tear gas.
The white smoke emitted from the bottle had the effect of infiltrating the organs of living beings with respiratory organs and causing abnormal conditions such as vomiting and sneezing.
It was a weapon that could work against any creature with a respiratory system, both enemies and allies, but Alex quickly covered his arm and nose with his right arm to minimize inhaling the smoke.
On the other hand, in the case of Bulbore, it was the opposite.
Bull Bore, who has a breathing habit of breathing in and exhaling wildly, inhaled a large amount of pure white smoke, and the effect was strong.
Whoa!
Bulbore, who inhaled the smoke, struggled in pain and ran into a riot as he bumped into the walls of the labyrinth.
Bulbore’s drooling and rampaging behavior left a powerful aftermath that made the labyrinth vibrate.
No matter how violently he ran, the walls of the labyrinth that didn’t break even when Alex bumped into it cracked and eventually broke the walls of the labyrinth.
“Don’t stay idly by, move quickly!”
The woman, with her bow slung over her shoulder and covering her nose and mouth with a white cloth, hurriedly approached Alex and shouted:
“We need to avoid our seats during this gap! Come on!”
Urged on by the female archer, Aisha Bendelgard, Alex tried to force himself up at the sound of a woman shouting at him.
“Ugh!”
As he tried to stand up with strength in his legs, Alex had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure the indescribable pain from the pierced abdominal wound.
Anyway, even if you sit here like this, you will die anyway, so Alex forcibly blocked the pierced wound with his left hand and struggled to stand up, leaning against the wall of the labyrinth where he was leaning.
“I will help you. Come on.”
Putting Alex’s right arm around her own shoulder, Aisha supported his body and slowly walked towards the place where Princess Yuria and Merdin were.
Alex nodded his head as he walked away, running his head through the current situation.
The current situation was serious.
Two of the four members of the team are injured and unable to fight, and one wizard and one archer remain.
It is also impossible to take the wounded into battle.
It is also impossible to specify the exact location of the present.
However, it is impossible to escape this labyrinth without encountering any monsters.
Alex couldn’t hide his frustration at a situation where he couldn’t even come up with a solution.
Starting with that, a gloomy atmosphere spreads to other people who see his expression.
“I brought you to your death.”
Seeing Alex’s hard expression, Yuria muttered as she clenched her fists.
“No. Lowering! It’s all my fault for not conducting properly!”
Alex felt a great sense of responsibility for how things had turned out so badly.
The leader with the highest status in the party was Princess Yuria, a member of the royal family, but Alex was the oldest and had the most experience in exploring dungeons and expeditions.
That’s why Alex took over the leadership of this party.
As for the situation going so badly, Alex thought it was clearly due to his lack of ability.
“No. It’s my fault. I thought it was too easy. I hadn’t even heard that such a monster was in the labyrinth, and I thought everything would be solved by simply clearing the ordeal…”
“Degradation, it is absolutely not your fault.”
Merdin also comforted YuRia, who felt responsible with her firm expression, but she didn’t respond.
“For now, let’s move. Shouldn’t we find a safe place and heal the seniors’ wounds first?”
When each other blamed and comforted each other for their own fault, but no specific course of action was decided, Aisha opened her mouth and suggested a course of action.
It was originally something Alex had to do, but he was busy comforting Princess Yuria, who was now gripped by her guilt.
“Mmm.”
“For now, I guess.”
In the Gracia Knights, which were created to protect the privacy of the royal family, Aisha was the youngest of the three members, but Alex and Merdin were not dissatisfied with her proposal.
As YuRia helped her Merdin up and raised her up, Merdin gave her an apologetic expression.
Originally, as a knight of the Royal Guard, he had to protect her princess, Yuria, but it was a very complicated feeling that her position was completely opposite.
“Senior, how are we really doing?”
Ayesha, who supported Alex, spoke to him in a low voice.
She glanced at Yuria, then narrowed her eyes again and continued her words.
“It looks like we’re all going to die because of that one head flower garden princess!”
“Be careful with your words. No matter how much you hate her, she is the princess of this country.”
“Is that important?! Right now, we all look like we’ve been ripped open by that wild boar!”
Alex had a very dissatisfied expression on her face, but she smiled bitterly at Aisha’s actions as she tried to avoid being noticed by Yuria as much as possible.
The reason why she arbitrarily brought Aisha to her princess’s party was because Alex knew her skills.
Aisha swore allegiance to her royal family, but she did not like all royalty.
In particular, she extremely hated people who harmed others with complacent thoughts and judgments.
Even if it was her royal family, escorting Yuria according to her responsibility and duty, but her feelings of hating her were clearly present.
Princess Yuria, who entered the dungeon with a small group of people in her party to keep her secret about this place, would have thought that her judgment was very reasonable, but her knights were not at all.
It seems that she didn’t know the details of the dungeon she entered, judging from who made it, the existence of a trap that was even malicious, and the fact that she met the bull bore, a monster that was completely unexpected.
She wouldn’t even divulge where she got the information from.
You know that she entered this dungeon for a purpose, but she didn’t even properly state that purpose.
From the point of view of the knights who followed her to escort her, she was frustrated and went crazy.
In addition, two of the Royal Guard knights are now seriously injured and unable to continue the battle.
Aisha clicked her tongue, saying that her nuisance was not such a nuisance.
If it wasn’t for the request of Alex, her respected senior, Princess Yuria would not have accepted even if she offered 10 gold coins to escort her.
“I hope you come sooner than later…”
“Come? Who? In this crazy dungeon?”
Hearing Alex mutter, Eleanor opened her eyes wide and asked.
“There is. It’s really insurance that I made just in case. But I don’t know if you’ll come.”
“What is it. That is.”
Aisha let out a sigh as she watched Alex put on her clumsy wry smile as if she wasn’t sure.
‘Will I be able to survive…’
